Last november I changed my number. T-mobile was offering me a better choice so I went with them they gave me a recently vacant number so I grabbed it. first I recieved msgs for thanks giving and christmas and then new year. early this summer I started recieving calls from different peoples who would ask for some guy and I certainly am not that guy. and now I get a lot of calls asking for some body I am not. being a taxi driver 8'o clock in the morning is like midnight for me. so enough was enough I went looking for a way to block any number from calling my iphone.
I found iblacklist but its a 12 dollar investment and its via cydia so you need to jailbreak your iphone. mine already is but not willing to pay that much for simple task. well simple? yes in old days I had nokia and I could assign any number not to ring but iphone dont let you. so I looked and found something. I could download a silent ringtone and use it on my iphone to get rid of the numbers in a way that phone will never ring as silent treatment will be assigned to them
here is how

download this file
connect your iphone to your pc
add it by dragging it into itunes ringtone line on the left hand column
click on your iphone and then ringtone tab
click sync all or select file your self
click apply

itunes will backup your phone and will sync new ringtone. once done you can assign this to any number by saving it and assignign ringtone and have a better sleep like me :D:)

If you have read my blog long enough I will seem pretty biased towards indians but that isnt the case. indians always manage to offend me in one way or other but I do ignore small offences but some of them are so much into poking that I cant help it. I still keep quite but overall they lower the respect for indians.
2 days ago I dropped somebody and was planning to move and look for another passenger. before moving my car I always look into the side mirror and back mirros so I dont accidently run over any body. I noticed an indian guy. I didnt want to take him becoz seeing a familiar face lead them to ask so many nonsence questions and poking stuff so its better to avoid. but I could see in my back mirror that he was limping. I have one simple rule. never ignore some body with any kind of disability or older peoples coz not many other cab drivers are willing to take them. when some older peoples or disable person is getting in my car I always put the gear into parking and tell them "take your time, no rush" coz I can understand and dont want them to be uncomfortable and try to hurry just because mr cabbie will say something harsh.
so I took that indian guy. he came to my window asked me how much to hoboken I told him 45 plus tolls. he thought for a while and said ok.
the asked "why you guys charge so much?"
Me: "becoz we cant pick some body in jersey"
him."will you make it 50 even?"
me "no I cant"
I usually charge 50 plus toll so its 58 I get tip on top of that so its always 65 and some change. he was asking to knock another 3 buck while it had already 12 knocked off.
him,"where you from?"
me. "pakistan"
him, "oh you see they fixed the match?"
now seriously? its always they bring something up some pakistani guy had done something embarrasing and they want you to talk abt it. I have a better response if u poke much n thats wtf. I wana drive you and get my money thats simple so stop offending me.
me, "no i dont follow cricket" while very quitely
him."oh you dont watch cricket"
then we were quite until I was in tunnel he started talking about just cricket and normal stuff and about india and this and that. then he bombed another question.
him."are these drone attacks affecting normal pakistani peoples?"
me,"just as much as indian forces attack on kashmir's peoples."
he went quite for a moment and then started saying thing against borders and politicians and armies and I was forced to listen while hoping the journey end soon.
he said my motto is to just make money and live happily, well thats what I was doing before you asked me about match fixing and american drone attacks. I dont blame you for what your country or someone in power from your nation did. so why do I have to answer your stupid questions?
well finally his destination arrived. he said ok stop here and walked out, I asked him are you coming back? he said oh yes I am going to bank to take out some money. came back with 3 twenty dollar bills and said give me 10 dollar please. I had already told him I cant but seems he was a cheap indian afterall so I told myself dont be a cheap youself with an indian cheap and gave him 10. if any good indian reading this my apologise.http://www.taxihacks.com/
